The" Creator book "helps us to see how many of the bibles predictions came true.
For instance on pg 106 we find,
"Consider this point. Isaiah wrote about Babylons final situation:Babylon the decoration of kingdoms, the beauty of the pride of the Chaldeans, must become as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.She will never be inhabited, nor will she reside for generation after generation".(Isaiah 13:19, 20;chapter 47)How did things actually work out?"
Before we consider the how the prophecy worked out we must fist mention that the society dates the book of Isaiah to 732BCE.
The book goes on to say,
"Some 200 years later , Babylon was still a populas city,but it did not remain so for much longer."
"By the third centuary CE , the historian Dio Cassius described a visitor to Babylon as finding nothing but "mounds and ruins."
Yes the prophecy came true.1000 years later.
Yes I'll say that again 1000 years later.
What an amazing prophecy, God uses Isaiah to fortell that the city of Babylon would become uninhabited in 1000 years time.
Am I missing something here? There are probably thousands of ancient towns and cities that like Babylon are no longer in existance. Many were great cites of mighty empires like in Eygpt or south America.
How does it show divine insight to say this city will be like Sodom and Gomorrah, and will never be inhabited, and then for it to be inhabited for 1000 years?
If the prophecy actually said this would happen in 1000 years then fair enought.
But the prophecy makes it sound like it was going to happen soon.
On the basis of this prophecy and other like them many people place their trust in the Bible.
Are there any prophecies in the bible that can deffinaitly be shown to have come true?
Oh yeh , theres the one about the faithful and discrete slave that only the faithful and discrete slave can understand and that shows that the fathful and discrete slave is the faithful and discrete slave of bible prophecy
